A 51-year-old Toronto man continues to insist, under cross-examination, that he was sexually abused more than 1,000 times between the ages of 6 and 12 by a minor hockey referee who had befriended his family.

The recovering drug and alcohol addict has testified Dimmick was a minor hockey referee when he befriended his father, a coach, and fondled and performed oral sex on the boy three to five times a week over six years.

Michael Dimmick, 75, has pleaded not guilty in Ontario Superior Court to 12 counts of indecent assault and two of buggery involving four boys between 1968 and 1978.

Allman questioned how the referee could, as claimed, have fondled the boy in his car while parked in a hockey arena parking lot, with other families driving in and out.

Allman queried how, as the witness claims, Dimmick could have performed oral sex while putting his head under the boy’s bed covers, given the risk of the boy’s parents walking in.

The man testified the fondling and oral sex lasted 15 to 90 minutes.

“During that time no one walked in?” Allman asked.

“Not that I can recall,” he replied.

“I would suggest to you that none of this happened at all,” Allman said.

“I know you are. That’s okay, sir,” the man replied.

He disagreed that he and his friends speculated Dimmick must be homosexual because he was not married.

Allman suggested the man became aware of a newspaper article about allegations Dimmick violated a cub scout when he was a scout leader.

The man agreed, but added he and his friends weren’t sure it was the same Dimmick.
